... profiles for the rising branch are concave, implying accelerating flows, and for the falling branch are convex, implying decelerating flows (Fig. 5). These observations are theoretically explained (equation (9) and Fig. 6). Flow characteristics Shear © Thomas Telford and ICE 1992 ...

... reasonably well with those obtained in estuarine flows. The temperature rise at the heat source was 10°C, hence the present results are also applicable to the case in which buoyancy is produced by a difference in concentration of dissolved materials. © Thomas Telford and ICE 1992 Flow...
